Wings for All in Alaska

Below is the 2017 event held in Fairbanks.

The Autism Society of Alaska has partnered with Wings for All®

This Wings for All® event is for the FAIRBANKS community. The Wings for Autism® event in Anchorage will be posted soon. This registration is open to Fairbanks and greater community residents only. The Arc of Anchorage is hosting the event and has partnered with Alaska Airlines to provide a unique airport "rehearsal" and travel experience for families with an individual who experience a disability or are on the autism spectrum. Each participant and family member will receive an event t-shirt and complimentary light refreshments during the event. Those who complete the practice "flight" will receive a Wings For All® certificate of accomplishment.

Originated by the Charles River Center, a local chapter of The Arc, Wings for Autism® and Wings for All® are designed to alleviate some of the stress that families who have a child with autism experience when traveling by air. The programs provides families with the opportunity to practice entering the airport, obtaining boarding passes, going through security and boarding a plane. Wings for Autism and Wings for All also give airport, airline, Transportation Security Administration professionals and other personnel the opportunity to observe, interact and deliver their services in a structured, learning environment. This experience is equally useful for families that have a member with other intellectual or developmental disabilities that are concerned about the ability of their family member to travel.
